I am a carer or friend of a disabled person. I have experience of challenges around: hearing and moving around.
Overall Rating
Good
Took my elderly mother here for a cup of tea. She is an attendant propelled wheelchair user. She enjoyed the experience. Light and airy café. Bit of a buzz about the place, including a small children's play area. The accessible toilet was light and airy, but we didn't use it. Teas, breakfasts and light lunches available. Small tables which you can wheel a wheelchair up to. We will go again.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
Press button door at the back but the next door into the café was a manual one and the space between the two doors was a bit cramped for both a wheelchair user and a carer carrying a walking frame.
Parking & Transport
Average
Two disabled parking bays at the back of the café, one behind the other. I was driving a hired car with wheelchair ramp at the back. Not sure if we could have got the ramp down if another car was parked in the marked space behind. There is a village car park on the other side of the road. Parking was free.
Accessible Toilets
Good
Seemed light and airy. Colour contrast rails. We didn't use it.
Staff
Good
The young lady who served us noticed that mum wouldn't have been able to lift the full pot of tea and poured some tea out for her as she was concerned mum might scald herself.
Additional Information
As I was unloading mum in wheelchair, walking frame and various bags a gentleman in a house opposite came out to see if I wanted some help, which was nice,
